CURENT Students Awarded
PES Scholarships for
2016-2017
.
Several CURENT students have
been awarded 2016-17 IEEE PES
Scholarships. Since the program
launched in 2011, 1,172 scholarships
have been awarded to 723 students
at more than 160 universities
across the USA, Canada & Puerto
Rico. This year, for the first time
ever, 25% of the recipients were
female. Eight CURENT students
from the University of Tennessee,
Northeastern University and
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
were awarded scholarships.
Additionally, Northeastern
University placed in the top ten of
schools with the highest number
of PES scholars. Below are our
scholarship recipents:

power system load voltage signal showing
NRMSE vs compression ratio (CR)
Experimental results show that the proposed
WPD method is better than or comparable
with the WD and ’wpdencmp’. The proposed
WPD based power system data denoising and
compression algorithm is a general framework
that can compress upto 2% of the original data
size; and can remove noise with an improvement
of upto 30dB in the signal to noise ratio (SNR).
The results of experiments show that a better
SNR and NRMSE can be achieved for a very
good compression ratios compared to WD and
’wpdencmp’ method. Future work will involve
the extensive application of the WPD algorithm
not only to the denoising and compression but
also for detection, analysis and classification
of disturbance/fault/transient events in power
system.

Additionally, we’d like to give an
extra shout-out to Drew HasBrouk
who, as a 3rd year student, has won
a PES scholarship for a third time.
